One of the first steps you can take is making sure your attic is both sealed and packed so that you retain your heating with maximum efficiency.

Not only will this keep your house nice and snug through the colder months, but it’s also a great chance to check your anchoring for any potential leaks.

Reinforce Weather Stripping

Ever wonder what the white strips on the bottom of your door are there for, or what kind of shape they’re in?

They’re your weather stripping, and they are one of the few ‘quick wins’ when it comes to home winterization.

They get used nearly every day (think of home many times you open and close your exterior doors each day), and if you have anything with claws in your home, they’re also a favored sharpening toy.

Take the time to examine each exterior facing door in your house and patch any gaps you see, with the same being done to your windows and garage doors.

Set Your Timers

One of the most underrated ways you can seriously save on your heating bills is to install digital thermostats and set timers to save energy.

By setting timers, you can ensure that your home isn’t producing heat when no one is around to benefit, such as when you’re at work. Then, when you’re an hour or so from getting home, your heat will automatically kick up.

You’ll no longer need to worry about whether or not you turned the heating down when you leave, and you’ll save even more if you can take advantage of time-of-day rates.
